ROLL CALL VOTE Ayes: Commissioners Doherty, Chairperson Lindsey Noes: None Absent: Commissioner Wilson Abstain: None Getty, Jamieson and Resolution No. 2239 was entered and adopted recommending approval of case PUD-82-22 as motioned. MATTERS FOR COMMISSION'S REVIEW Report on Video Games Mr. Harris presented the staff report. He indicated his staff had talked to Mr. Brad Hirst of the Game Station and others in putting the report together. Commissioner Doherty asked if machines in homes would be inventoried and taxed as suggested for the commercial users in the staff report. He felt that one might be opening 'Pandora's Box' in taxing machines. Mr. Harris stated that unless they were a commercial business the City wouldn't want to license them. Commissioner Doherty asked the definition of commercial. He said that in apartment complexes there are cigarette machines and coin operated laundries for profit. Mr. Swift stated that currently businesses aren't allowed in resi- dential districts. Chairperson Lindsey discussed expansion of non-conforming uses and asked if, as proposed, would Chuck E. Cheese, for example, have to come before the Planning Commission if they increased their use by one machine. Mr. Harris indicated they would be operating under a non-conforming situation and would have to come before the Commission. Mr. Swift indicated that allowable expansions under non-conforming use statutes are usually judged in terms of square footage, additional parking spaces required, etc. The City's particular provisions would have to be reviewed to determine what percentage increase in the number of machines would be deemed an illegal expansion of a non-conforming use - in these cases neces- sitating application for a conditional use permit.
